On the late afternoon of September 11, 2024, 37-year-old Akeem Corderah Shoucair-Grant was killed by gunfire on Spring Street in Bridgeport, Connecticut. ShotSpotter registered multiple rounds just before 6 p.m.; police found Shoucair-Grant in the street with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a local hospital and died shortly after arrival. He was known to family and friends as keemieskeem/King kg, attended Stamford Academy, and owned a mobile car detailing business. He is survived by his mother, sister, daughter, and girlfriend.

Investigators say the shooting followed a play fight between Shoucair-Grant and 46-year-old Roshay Williams, described as a longtime friend and co-worker. According to witness accounts and video from the scene, the men exchanged blows, appeared to shake hands after an apology, and then Williams retrieved a gun from his vehicle and opened fire. Williams reportedly fled in a gray Chevrolet sedan.

A warrant was issued for Williams and he later surrendered to police; he was charged with murder and criminal possession of a firearm and held on $1.5 million bail. What else is known about their relationship or about why a play fight turned deadly?
